...much from what I found before.
Shows
Although I bought my jacket from a dealer I later found that if I'd waited... and boy I wish I'd waited... that jackets and motorcycle gear in general were generally cheaper at shows. I was informed that gear tends to be particularly cheap towards the end of the show and also at the TT track at the Isle of man.
Jackets
They form a lot of protection from falls and weather. I think the invention of padding and armour was well worth it and a decent motorcycle jacket can be considered a good investment. At best, you will never fall of your bike and never need to see what your jacket is really capable of. At worst you'll come off and see what it's really made of.
I really would recommend that anyone riding a bike invests in some really good gear- it could save many broken bones- possibly...

Advantages: Excellent to ride, easy to clean Disadvantages: Not fast enough for some people
...and in control as your feet are placed flatly on the floor. The choice of using the centre or side stand maintain the stability of the motorcycle until you are ready for the off. The wide seat gives a firm but comfortable seating position. Even on long journeys you are unlikely to suffer from a numb rear end. I use mine for daily visits to work and for pleasure at weekends. I have driven my Shadow on motorways as well as down winding country lanes and have found a windscreen is needed, as you will be buffeted about from the wind at the higher speeds if you don’t have one. The windscreen adds to the overall look of the bike to its advantage.
My shadow has an electric start, which makes this a simple affair to start my journey. Just hop on, check I have not left the bike in gear and press the little red button. As I engage gear and slowly open...

Advantages: Great Friendly Serrvice, Good Aftersales Service Disadvantages: Expensive For 2nd Hand Bikes
...I bought a 2nd hand Peugeot Speedfight 2 Silver Sport from here about 2 months ago.
Jonahthan (the tall guy with long hair) is always very helpful and does his best to find the most suitable bike for you and your wallet.
Paid £1000 for 50cc 2stroke the bike which was the same price that i could have got a 100cc 4 stroke honda for, at webbs, which is just a few doors away but it sold just before i went to buy it.
Anyway, they have a selection of bikes from 50cc to 1000cc and from £1000 to £10000+
The one stop shop will sort out your Gloves, Helmet, Jacket, Bike, Insurance & anything else you need to get on the road.
If you are looking for a first or second bike or need a small bike (50 - 125cc) for town running then this really is the ultimate shop to go to. The shop is more like a showroom and less like a garage...
